This is amazing...I wanna go and try it out now...LOL Too bad I'm in the East Coast =(
Right?! Ahaha, I'm about 2hrs from LA.. I'll get there someday! Apparently parkour is the art of getting from Point A from Point B in the most efficient way. Free running has to do with the freedom of movement of the human body along with acrobats. Amazing<33

looks like so much fun!!! i can't even imaging the "freerunning" bruises! i'd bet they make our pole bruises look like nothing 😲
I knoww.. it might even be hard to pole dance while learning this (the cat run a.k.a. running with feet AND hands) but omg I want to do it :D

wow, that's crazy! it looks great for kids especially, what a way to burn off energy! :D
I absolutely love parkour and I'm soooo happy to see gyms for it popping up. Their staff just looks like such a fun group...definitely the sort of people who make you want to throw yourself off a building in a good way! It's a sport that trains you to build up as much potential energy as you can, working with the physics of the human body, and unleash that force in a controlled fashion. You'll notice the "spring-like" action of the body...you can actually see the recoil of the impacts and how their bodies transfer the force. I've never seen it so well choreographed as it is here. What an inspiring and great video, thanks for sharing!

This is wonderful! Such a well choreographed video and athletic group of people. What fun!!!
I can't wait to get into parkour! I have contacted a couple parkour groups in my area. I need to let my sternum and minecus heal first but I am EXCITED!
Its oneof my fave vids. It reminds me how strong we are made to be.

I just went to my first parkour lesson on Saturday and it was so much fun! I went with my boyfriend (who won't do ANY pole, despite much goading!) - he loved it, and there were even children doing it that had the hang of it in no time! It's just basics so far, but we'll be ramping it up to more 'tricks' soon =) It looks crazy, but really, it's just getting in touch with your body's natural movements, learning how to flow and returning to your roots. When you see children playing, they incorporate a lot of parkour movements - rolling, jumping and landing naturally, running up and climbing trees and walls. Parkour is the philosophy of these natural movements - I suppose it teaches you to be without fear to an extent too. I thought I'd be the star of the class with my pole training, but already I can feel the burn in my upper body - just think how much strength I'll have to lend those handsprings and straight edges when I've been doing parkour for a while! Not to mention, you get used to the dreaded cardio with a smile on your face the whole time (something I never thought would happen!). Not to mention, it's really good to be outside - not cooped up inside a gym necessarily! Hopefully it will also lend some more natural 'flow' to my pole dancing and help me develop my own style, too =) I'm in Brisbane and I was surprised to find there was a fairly large group of people doing parkour together in my area - not to mention, a lot of the guys pole community seems to be hand in hand with parkour - the male instructor at my studio used to teach parkour, and he's frequently seem leaping from pole to pole like a monkey at ThePoleGym. Have a look, maybe there's a local group in your area too! If not (or maybe in addition), Kyle "Epic1" Mendoza's youtube channel is great - tutorials for everything, and a dog that does parkour to boot! http://www.youtube.com/user/epic1?ob=4&feature=results_main
I just signed up for a 7 week session that is starting on June 21. I found this when I was looking for adult gymnastics classes a few years back and have wanted to try it since. Finally bit the bullet and signed up.

Wow that looks amazing! I'd love to give that a try, but I've never heard of it being in Aus.. Time to start googling!
